Four Star Whipper In

Just five years ago, Stephanie Boyer was preparing her horse Macloud to run the Rolex Kentucky CCI****, one of only six worldwide CCI**** three day events and the only four star held in North America. She had worked for multiple Olympic medalist Philip Dutton, Pan American Games medalist Buck Davidson, and had galloped for such notable trainers as Michael Matz (also an Olympic gold medalist) and Jonathan Sheppard. With completions at Fair Hill CCI***, Jersey Fresh CCI***, The Fork CIC***, and numerous runs at the Advanced level to her credit, the native of Thousand Oaks, CA found herself in search of something different and has happily served as First Whipper In to Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds for four seasons.

As a follow-up to an email sent to the membership several days ago, if members would care to utilize the CHC website to make suggestions to the Masters about spots in the Hunt Country that could use work, including trail clearing and fence construction or repair, click here to submit a report and record that information. Please understand that Masters will use their discretion when it comes to which work to do, and when, based on a number of factors. Thank you.
